I don't disagree with anything you said. But I'm not seeing how competent role players (better defense, more ball and off ball movement, etc) and playing at home aren't the driving forces of of this stretch of good play. The home/road splits alone are staggering.

Or are you looking at it more stylistically? With the ball movement etc? I'm no super Holiday fan either. Just curious, SP.

Cunningham was here during PTAO. Pondexter was a phenomenal addition. I can see the home argument. They were able to finally settle in, and I'm sure really being able to get in some actual practice time helped immensely (which is a credit to Monty actually). However, I think the way this team is currently playing will translate to road wins.

My only point was: Evans the Distributor (and the offensive system in general now) has such a natural trickle down effect and is the biggest reason for the turnaround. Everyone seems comfortable and confident in their current roles and that starts at the top.

I'm very hesitant to throw Holiday (another ball handler) into a good thing. It's not a knock on Holiday. I would just rather him shore up the 2nd unit depth and be the main ball handler off the bench, which is the only role I don't feel Gordon has been entirely comfortable in lately.
